Add a file .tsan-suppressions and list two functions in it: want_color()
and transfer_debug(). Both of these use the pattern
static int foo = -1;
if (foo < 0)
foo = bar();
where bar always returns the same non-negative value. This can cause
ThreadSanitizer to diagnose a race when foo is written from two threads.
That is indeed a race, although it arguably doesn't matter in practice
since it's always the same value that is written.
Add NEEDSWORK-comments to the functions so that this problem is not
forever swept way under the carpet.
The suppressions-file is used by setting the environment variable
TSAN_OPTIONS to, e.g., "suppressions=$(pwd)/.tsan-suppressions". Observe
that relative paths such as ".tsan-suppressions" might not work.
